Happy In Covid Time

In the trappings of life is the ‘unpredicted’, which throws us into a tailspin.  Guess what! We can work around it.  We have an epidemic but we are on the top side of the earth.  May the souls of those who perished rest in peace. 
Despite it all, happiness prevails, yes even now.  It’s the ‘goodness’ in life, no matter what life brings, goodness breathes and surrounds us all, so does happiness.  We have only to ‘focus on the positive’ – not to ignore the afflictions that inevitably come to ‘our door’ – acknowledge it but have a working niche to detach.  Goodness always follows at the heels of it all, and resistance to grab that goodness can sour our core and that’s the place happiness lies.  There is always a light.  Many go through life without seeing the brightness, then the darkness pulls them in and they acquiesce.  Focus on the positive!    

December brings what most of us would label as the most festive and greatly celebrated in-home bash!   Are you on board with that?  The music… the smell… the food… the fun… the family… okay family can be a challenge but it’s a time we should bring ‘cordial’ into the fold – be on board. 

My husband and I cheered into it with usual gusto only to realize we were slowing down to the wreaking of COVID-19.  Heck! 


We rode it with positivity and gratitude however: that we were only house-bound experiencing unusually mild symptoms, and not hospital-bound – so, we ended up on this side of the earth.   Whatever your outcome, be happy in it: if you are one prosperous enough to evade the virus, relish in that happiness; if not, relish in the happy that you did not meet the ultimate worse outcome – death!
COVID does not meet every sick person with the same inflictions, but guess what. happiness is ‘to be had.’

In the vain of seeing the light, for any of us, it is a time to relish in the happiness of life itself and the myriad of goodness and good times touching us, eventually.
